Same errors are preventing either of these from working in 2026. Are we missing something?

Well, a lot of things has changed in the language back then. We have changed a lot our stdlib and that is why the language is on 0 major version.

We need to review some old packages, called modules in the past. Now modules are a completely different thing for us.

Obviously, if we had issues on the language, we should prioritize it, which leads to less time to keep and maintaining packages.

Notice that this package existed before unitt even exist, so we have not implemented tests that much for this. But we will, we have some plans for Aguila, but I think we need first to enhance our html package. Or at least fix it, and enhance right after our html...

Now with Arizona Bark version, we think we reach some maturity with our stdlib. We hope we get more things easily done, but there are many things to discuss about the implementation and impact on the language design and development.

Excited for the future! :slight_smile:
